• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Reproductive Health Care Bill be read a Second Time. First and foremost, I wish to start by saying that this is a very good Bill that has come at the appropriate time when the country and the world at large is aware of the problems that the human kind has suffered, especially in terms of reproductive issues. This is a Bill, you will agree with me, which has received what I would call maximum public participation. It has been discussed from all corners of the country. Many stakeholders have ... view
• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for protecting me. As I was saying, we have seen many women die. We have been told that about 441,000 women suffer from complications of child birth or pregnancy related issues every year. The statistics keep fluctuating. We know that unless we do something, they will die. In many cases, we have seen instances where women go to deliver in hospitals but instead we see big coffins and small coffins from the hospital. Why? At times when you inquire, it is because of lack of adequate health care facilities that would have enabled these two ... view

• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if the truth be told, I have actually used a layman’s’ language.

• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, the reason why – maybe I will discuss it with my colleagues here – this is something which many Kenyans are not aware of because it is something which has been going on, I could say amongst the elite. There are very few hospitals with such facilities. I think Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) may have the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 30 Sep 2014 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. That upholds and protects the family unit. As I had said, everybody, both men and women, have certain challenges. However, it is the women who mostly bear most of the challenges. This is because even if the man has a problem, there is no way to prove but if it is the woman, it will be proved because there is no baby growing in her belly and she will not be breastfeeding any child. These problems do occur and this is where it can be appreciated. During public forums, I got interventions where some people were ... view
• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to comment on this Motion. I wish to state that I do support it. Probably the reason I am calling it a Bill is because I wanted to assure my sister, Sen. Ongoro, that there is actually a Bill on the Order Paper which will help implement some of these wonderful ideas that she has; it will help the young persons, especially from adolescence. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what this states or emphasizes is that there is a group in our community called the young persons, which ... view
